.bashrc not being executed, why?

realos · 12-20-2003, 06:41 PM

hi,

.bashrc is not being executed after starting a new xterm or even after logging out and in.

-rwxr--r-- 1 testuser_en users 101 2003-12-19 20:32 /home/testuser_en/.bashrc

Actually, I have set some locale variable in .bashrc which is not correctly set after logging out and in..

Strange thing is when I put that stuff in .bash_profile it works smoothly but not in .bashrc., why?

can anybody give a hint?

Do you have in the .bash_profile the lines:

Code:

# include .bashrc if it exists

if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
    source ~/.bashrc
fi
